Senior Becomes Penn's First Men's Swimming Champ, and You're Feeling Inadequate Right Now.

Penn senior Chris Swanson became Penn’s first NCAA men’s swimming champion when he won the 1650 freestyle event this past weekend. For those looking to replicate his feat, that's 66 laps in the Pottruck swimming pool, although we hear hanging out in the sauna is pretty nice too. This leaves lonely Cornell as the sole Ivy sans a men's swimming championship title, so *insert insecure joke here about a “lesser Ivy”* Swanson is the first student from an Ivy League to become an NCAA men’s swimming champ in over 25 years. And he did so pretty impressively, shaving 20 seconds of his previous year’s 11^th place finish. So for all of you who complain about Penn boys being too short and not brawny enough for your liking, we’ve got at least one who disproves the stereotype.
